  1. Benefits Of Mobile DAF And MBBR Treatment For Food And Beverage Wastewater 10/29/2026

    Food and beverage plants in violation must correct discharge within days, yet permanent fixes take far longer. Rented treatment changes how plants handle that gap.

  2. England Needs 120% Of Normal Rainfall To Come Out Of Drought This Winter — Storms Won't Fix That Yet 10/29/2026

    Groundwater supplies much of the drinking water in southern and eastern England, but it fills slowly, over months and years. A hot summer is a big splurge with lots of withdrawals, but a dry winter means the deposits needed to repay that spending never arrive. That’s why a dry winter can do more damage to our water supplies than a heatwave.

  3. How A Tiny Water Utility Pieced Together Millions In Infrastructure Funding 10/28/2026

    While no major municipal water utility has ever claimed to be overfunded, it is much easier to cover the cost of large projects when it can be spread across hundreds of thousands of residents. But this is a stark contrast to the mathematical reality of smaller utilities like the Madison Community Services District (CSD). Its small size can make it difficult to attract the attention of those who control the purse strings for major projects.

  4. Understanding Biofilm Through Oxidative Chemistry 10/27/2026

    Biofilm is one of those water treatment problems that can look deceptively simple. Microorganisms attach to a surface, multiply, and begin building a community. The natural response is to disinfect, apply enough oxidant to kill the organisms and maintain a residual strong enough to keep them under control, however in practice, it is rarely that straightforward.

  5. Everything You Know About MBR Has Changed 10/27/2026

    The NXT|MBR pairs membrane treatment with durable shotcrete construction to reduce capital costs, streamline operations, and strengthen wastewater treatment resilience.

  6. PFAS-Selective Ion Exchange For Environmental Remediation: Compact, Targeted, And Field-Proven 10/27/2026

    Tighter PFAS limits demand reliable, compact treatment. Learn how selective ion exchange and smart pretreatment help hit low targets while extending resin life.

  7. How To Avoid Critical Mistakes With Emergency Blower Rentals 10/27/2026

    Proactive contingency planning helps wastewater plants secure properly sized emergency blowers, avoid costly equipment mismatches, and restore aeration with less downtime.

  8. How Integrated Aeration Unlocks Wastewater Treatment Efficiencies 10/27/2026

    An integrated approach to aeration can reduce energy and capital costs by matching blower output, diffuser design, and automated controls to wastewater treatment demands.

  9. The Water Online Show: Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. 10/27/2026

    Granule size separates densified sludge from granular sludge, influencing settling, retrofit requirements, and more. Understanding the difference helps utilities set realistic expectations.

  10. Understanding Biofilm Through Oxidative Processes 10/27/2026

    Controlling a mature biofilm means targeting its protective matrix, not only the organisms inside. Prevention, destabilization, and removal each call for different oxidative behaviors, changing how performance should be judged.
